Zoom's CEO explains how he balances work and family: 'I do not have a lot of hobbies'
Zoom's CEO, Eric Yuan, said he prioritizes family over work when conflicts arise. Yuan, who founded Zoom in 2011, said he delayed creating the company until his kids were older. He said that he watched all his kids' sports and dance practices when they were growing up. Zoom's CEO says he has two priorities: work and family. When they collide, family wins. On an episode of the "Grit" podcast published on Monday, Eric Yuan, who founded the company, said he doesn't have bandwidth for much outside his job and his wife and three grown children. "I do not have a lot of hobbies at all," he said. "Family and Zoom, that's pretty much it." Yuan said he wants to lead by example. "I tell our team, 'Guys, you know, there's no way to balance. Work is life, life is work,'" Yuan said. "However, whenever there's a conflict, guess what? Family first. That's it." Yuan founded Zoom in 2011 as a 41-year-old, after serving as the vice president of engineering at WebEx, which was later bought by Cisco. Zoom went public in 2019, and usage of its videoconferencing software exploded during pandemic-era remote work. Zoom is valued at $24.31 billion, with Yuan holding about 20% of its shares. Its stock is up 27.5% in the past year. On the podcast, Yuan shared an example where his duties as a CEO and father clashed. The company hosted a Christmas party in San Jose on the same night as his son's San Francisco basketball game. "I told our team I cannot make it on time, I need to finish watching my son's basketball game first," he said. He added that he watched all his kids' sports and dance practices and brings his laptop, but only worked when they were on the bench. He would return to watching when they got back in the game. "That's the reason why I have back problems today — because I was sitting there for way too long," he said. Yuan added that he wasn't happy for a year during his time at Cisco and wanted to build his own product. But he delayed founding Zoom because he wanted his kids to grow up and start middle school. He also avoided business travel until his kids left home, including for investor roadshows when the company was gearing up to go public in 2019. "I can use Zoom, giving me a great excuse," he said, adding that his chief financial officer did all the travel. Yuan said he is an "empty nester" now, and the only thing he regrets is not spending more time with his kids before they turned 15. Zoom did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment. Yuan is among a group of Silicon Valley leaders who are publicly speaking up about their roles as fathers. Last year, Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian launched a podcast called "Business Dad" to talk about how men can balance being a dad with a successful career. "There's an opportunity here to normalize a different kind of masculinity," he said in an interview with People magazine last year. Lyft's CEO, David Risher, has also spoken about prioritizing finding a balance among work, family, and hobbies like reading. He told Business Insider earlier this week that he likes cooking and cleaning up with his wife and that he limits time on his laptop after work.

Public hearing planned for Spire rate case
Public hearings will be held around the state, including one in Joplin, for a rate increase filed last year by Spire, which provides natural gas to homes and businesses in Missouri. In November, Spire filed a rate increase request with the Missouri Public Service Commission that would raise company revenue by approximately $236 million annually, or about 14%. The utility said in a statement that for the average residential customer, the proposed increase would be approximately 15%, or $14 per month. Spire said its total request is to increase revenues by approximately $290 million, but about $54 million of the proposed increase is already being collected as part of the Infrastructure System Replacement Surcharge program line item that appears separately on customer bills. 'We're committed to safely delivering reliable and efficient natural gas service to more than 1.2 million homes and businesses in Missouri and doing so in the most affordable way for our customers,' Steve Mills, Spire Missouri president, said in a statement. 'We want our customers to know that even with this request, they will see bills that are slightly lower or unchanged compared to 2024.' In its statement, Spire said it proposes recovery of 'infrastructure investments, inflationary costs since its last case, increased costs of service, and weather and conservation impacts.' The company said it has invested nearly $1 billion to maintain and modernize service infrastructure, in turn reducing emissions and improving the safety of its distribution system. If approved, the rate increase would take effect this fall. As part of the rate case, the PSC is holding public hearings around the state, allowing customers to ask questions and offer testimony about the rate request. The hearings are attended by both the PSC and the Missouri Office of the Public Counsel, which represents ratepayers before the commission. Virtual public hearings will be held at noon and 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 3. To attend a virtual local public hearing by telephone, at the time of the hearing call toll-free 855-718-6621, listen to the prompt and enter the corresponding meeting number listed. For the noon call, the access code is 2866 775 5885; for the 6 p.m. call, the access code is 2867 463 1122. The password for both calls is 0107. To attend a virtual local public hearing by WebEx video, visit the website Participants also can download the Cisco WebEx meetings application on their mobile device, laptop, desktop or tablet prior to the hearing and join the meeting at the hearing time by entering the corresponding meeting number and password. Anyone wishing to participate in the WebEx question-and-answer session or make comment to the PSC during a WebEx hearing should register by calling 800-392-4211 by 5 p.m. the day before the hearing. In-person hearings will be held next week around the state, including St. Louis, St. Joseph, Kansas City and Joplin. The Joplin meeting will be at 6 p.m. Thursday in Corley Auditorium on the campus of Missouri Southern State University.
